All the lights were out be cause it was so warm and for other reasons. Uncle Billy was taking a bath in the dark because It was too warm to pull down the shade. 1 did not want any light because 1 had re tired and was Just sneaking down In my pajamas to get a drink of water. No shades were down anywhere, and the families of the entire neighbor hood were out on their respective porches. "Anna and the young man to whom she is engaged were sitting on the front steps. They didn't want any light. "What I wanted to do was to light tip the dining room for just a minute, so that 1 would get light enough in the ball to avoid the place where 1 knew I. must stub my toe at the turn of the stairs. I poked a peg. and there were no results that I could see. "I poked again. This act was fol lowed by a scream. There was also applause from across the street and then there came catcalls and such ex presslons as 'Oh. you Romeo and Ju liet! There was also a commotion on the front steps. "1 quickly poked again. This time there was a glaring light all around me. and I was the recipient of cheers. I hastened to relieve myself from the embarrassing prominence. Then I tried another light. "This time I oapiwd the climax. A splash was heard In the bathroom and the stentorian tones of Uncle Bljly came through the night: 'Ulgh. there" Turn off the light: Quick!- I had at traded the attention of the neighbor hood to Uncle Billy.' lit 1111 I Ml 1 I I I Ml .m-M-M-M-M- The Original Easy Mark.
